Also germane in this context is a book by Henry Morris: The Long War Against God:https://www.amazon.ca/Long-War-Against-God-Publishing/dp/B00SQE6XHQ/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1488153180&sr=8-3&keywords=Henry+Morris%3A+The+Long+War+Against+God%3A
Did anyone see “Is Genesis History?” on the 23rd?
I believe in genetics, physiology, pharmacology, microbiology and biochemistry. I believe in the underlying chemical and biochemical relatedness of living things. I believe in the scientific method. I am not sure what “believing” in evolution does to make me a better scientist.
FairWitness, Ph.D., Biochemistry
In the beginning God created evolution.
Aaaah, no!
You might as well blame kale, or broccoli for all the world's evils, that would make just as much sense.
"Darwinism" (whatever that means) is not the "root" of all evil, it's misuse is merely symptomatic of what evil minded people can do with any idea, whether scientific, philosophical, religious or whatever.
Indeed Darwin's ideas on evolution are simply the natural outcome of scientific assumptions and physical evidence.
No other theories meeting those basic criteria explain the evidence so well.
Of course the religious problem here is that scientific ideas which can well be used to explain "how God did it" instead are often assumed to claim, "no God is necessary or exists".
But those are religious or philosophical claims, not scientific, and neither Darwin nor any other scientist could make such claims scientifically.
So the enemy of Christianity is not science, or scientists per se, but rather atheists who proclaim their atheism masquerading as science.
Again, "Darwinism" strictly defined is simply a natural explanation for what the Bible tells us God created.

Joe, you haven’t the faintest idea what science is.
.
Yes I did. The theater actually had to have a second show as the first sold out by lunch time for the 7:00 p.m. show.

You’re going to be a real kick at the great white throne.

Strictly defined, there is no "belief" in science, no "faith" and no "truth".
That's because science, at best, is merely a model of reality as we see or detect it, and all it's data, hypotheses and theories are only accepted conditionally -- until better data or theories come along.
When they do come along, and it happens every day at some level, then old ideas are overturned and new ones again conditionally accepted.
That's what makes science the opposite of religion, and why religious terms like "faith" or "truth" should not be used in scientific discourse.
Right.
Evolution, in one sense is trivial. You can make Staph aureus methicillin resistant in a few generations.
In another sense, however, it’s ridiculous. You can’t turn Staph aureus into E. coli in a million generations.
Sorry, but it's you who insist on misrepresenting science in order to battle it on your religious terms.
In your mind science is just another religion, a form of atheism, which can be rejected on religious grounds.
In fact, because science strictly defined includes no "belief", "faith" or even "truth", but instead merely models natural reality, it's the opposite of any religion.
"Methodological naturalism" is the correct definition of science, anything else is just masquerading atheism.
Yep!
How was it? The preview was very interesting.
Can you give us your review of it?

Could you conceive of a common ancestor of both?
There were 'anti-Christian' athiests before 1859.
What did they use as their philosophical basis?
